IfcThis paper goes to press on Wednesda;
afternoons. This statement is made tha
the public may understand our referenc
to the musicale which takes place at th
Fitting School chapel this (Wednesday
evening. A fine program has been at
ranged, and everybody is invited to at
tend. Admission, 15 cents; refreshment
after the program.
A mnptinff of the base ball assooiatioi

sars in subscriptions, and all who hav<
suliscribed are requested to pay thes<

Bamberg County Teachers.
There was a fair attendance of teacher;
at the monthly meeting of the Teachers
Association at the court house last Sat
urday morning. Three teachers wer<
present for the first time and added theii
names to the roll: Mr. John J. Jones, ol
Smoaks, and Misses M. C. Leland anc
Nell Pegues Evans, of the Denmark
school.
Many of those who were on duty eithei
:o debate or read papers were absent
so the meeting was necessarily short. Miss
Ellen Murphy and Mr. T. D. Jones read
;wo excellent papers on "Discipline in
;he School." These papers showed orignal
thought and that the writers had
onsiderable insight into child nature. In
;he first paper the fact was brought oul
;hat those teachers who boast of not usng
the switch at all, employ far more
?ruel and less effective methods for the
punishment of children.
In the latter paper many fine points on
iehool government were presented in an
nstructive and striking manner. Tact
>n the part of the teacher is the one conrolling
principle. Begin right. Be not
changeable. Act to-day as you did yeserday
and as you expect to do to-morrow.
The largest and most powerful engines
nake the least noise when in motion, so
he most successful teachers conduct their
ichools in a quiet and orderly manner.
The questions on current events that
lave been printed in The Bamberg HerlLD
were read, answered, and discussed.
Capt. W. E. Sease referred to the Asociation
Mr. McMalian's letter asking
vlien would be the most suitable time
or holding the summer school in this
ountv. It was the opinion of the.teach:rs
present that about the middle of July
vould be convenient, and Mr. McMahan
vill be so informed.
A very fine program for the next meetng
was made out and adopted. The
text meeting will be on the fifth of May.
These meetings will prove helpful to
he teachers, and all in the county should
Mend. If only one new idea is acquired
vhieli will help them in their work, the
iine will be well spent.

The Case Dismissed.
. On February 17th last, three young
men, John and Willie Besinger and Jini.
my Nimmons, who were on a frolic, shot
I off their pistols in the neighborhood of
j Mrs. Rachel Wilkinson's house, and tore
. down several panels of her pasture fence.
[ They were subsequently arrested and
t tried before Magistrate L. L. Lancaster,
; who gave them each the alternative of
. paying a fine of or putting in fifteen
, days on'the chain gang. They appealed
, I the case..
It came up Tuesday. It was in evidence
that the boys had paid Mrs. Wilkinson
fifty cents for the repair of the fence, and
upon this showing his Honor Judge Gage
promptly set aside the verdict of the Magistrate's
court.
Murder In Colleton.
Last Tuesday John Gaskins, a white
mau, left Branchville with a load of fer
terlizers. He was joined by a negro named
Hampton Simmons, whom he allowed to
ride with him as far as the negro's cabin.
Last Wednesday evening the body of
Gaskins was found in Simmons's yard,
he having received a load of buckshot in
the face.
Simmons has left for parts unknown,
but before going he took his children to
his sister's house. He told her that Gaskins
was drunk and on arriving at Simmons's
cabin shot one of his chickens
* * r,t - ? ? - ? - ^ )
with a pistol. Simmons rauuusuaau
with him and he alleges that Gaskins
threatened to shoot him, whereupon Simmons
went to his house audi got out his
gun and let Gaskins have a load of buck-1
shot in his face. That is his story, but
he has skipped away and no arrest has
been made.
It is a coincidence that Gaskins's brother
was also killed by being shot with a
load of buckshot and a negro is now serving
a term in the penitentiary for the
crime.
Davis Convicted.
The. case of Frank Davis, a negro
charged with shooting Frank Garvin, another
negro, with intent to murder, at a
wedding celebration held Dec. 21st last,
occupied the attention of the court for
several hours on Tuesday. Master Ray
Hutto, a curly-haired Lord Fauntleroy
sort of a little chap from Denmark, drew
the jury, and Lawyer John R Bellinger,
who assisted the solicitor, did his best,
in connection with that officer, to convict
the accused. The jury remained out until
after the adjournment of court, returning
a verdict of guilty yesterday
morning. The judge sentenced him to a
fine of $o0 or a term of six months on
the chain gang.
Their Case Went Over.
The case of the State vs Wm Irons and
Louise Kirkland, indicted for adultery,
was continued until next term of court.
The parties are negroes, who live about
three miles from here, and were not in
i court, although the State's witnesses were
all present.
This was a celebrated case, and the prc,
liminary examination was held before the
1 late Magistrate Joseph Dickinson last
summer. The hearing occupied three
days. The accused were in jail at the
' time, but after the preliminary they were
' both discharged, and never signed a
, recognizance for their appearance.
Oil Mill Assured.
A meeting of those interested in the
; establishment of a cotton oil mill here
was held in the town hall last Tuesday
? *
afternoon. H C Folk was made chairman
of the meeting, with W D Rhoad and A
I W Knight secretaries. It was decided to
' make the capital stock -$15,000, with the
[ par value of each share $25.
[ Most of the capital stock was subscribed
at the meeting, and Jno H Cope, G
) Frank Bamberg, Jno F Folk, Havelock
Eaves, and W M Brabham were elected as
a board of directors.
Havelock Eaves, A W Knight, and W
M Brabham were appointed as a commits
tee to draft by-laws for the company, and
rt the board of directors were authorized to
t> take steps to perfect the organization.
b The board held a meeting immediately
l> afterwards, and appointed committees to
* secure a new commission (this being made
necessary by a change in the capital stock);
'. to secure data as to machinery; for an
available site, and to petition city council
for tax exemption for live years.
? A Big Egg.
1 Dr. B. D. Bronson has an every day
vT dunghill hen which weighs about six
pounds. Ordinarily she lays an average
f sized egg, and lias always conducted herI
salf as a well-raised but plebian-bloodei]
hen.
l" The other day, however, she got seizec
,r with an ambition to distinguish herself
d and the result was an egg nearly the size
e of those fabled roc fruit which Sinhadtln
Sailor found in the Valley of Diamonds
E The doctor has not yet weighed theabor
g | tion, but he is confident that two sucl
> | would outweigh the hen, and, as soon a:
y j lie gets his new broad-trail wagon, hi
ir j proposes to cart the mastodon down towi
't; where he will place it on free exhibition
ly The egg measures inches in circumfer
n ence through its largest diameter, and '
ir inches through its shortest.
,i- Since the above was in type, the eg j
?t has been put on exhibition at the Bam

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
The grand jury, 011 Tuesday, made me
following presentment, each clause of
which Judge Gage agreed in, and promised
his cordial co-operation in carrying
out the suggestions embodied therein.
To his Honor, G. W. Gage, presiding
judge, Spring term, 190(k The grand
jury beg leave to make the following presentment
:
We have passed upon all the bills of
indictments handed us by the solicitor,
and returned the same to the court.
We have inspected the jail and find
that the prisoners are properly treated
and well cared for.
We have visited the county offices and
found them in good condition, also investigated
the banks in which the accounts
are kept and have discovered no errors or
shortage.
We realize the necessity of a more thorough
examination of accounts than the
time allowed a grand jury will permit;
therefore we recommend that an expert
accountant be appointed to make the
same and report the finding to the grand
jury at the next term of court, to be embodied
in their presentments.
It has come to our knowledge that the
fish laws of the State are almost if not
entirely disregarded. The wholsale destruction
of the fish as they run up the
streams to spawn and increase, by wire
traps, nets, seins and dynamite, if not
stopped, will result in the final extermination
of the valuable fish in our waters.
We recommend, therefore, that your
Honor charge those whose duty it is to
a strict enforcement of the law.
In conclusion, we sincerely express our
thanks to the judge, solicitor and county
officials, for courtesies shown us, and assistance
rendered in the discharge of our
duty. Respectfully submitted,
JN*0. W. CRUM,
Foreman.

s The second day of court opened with a
r resumption of the trial of Alec. O'Brien,
, charged witli disturbing public worship
1 at Prospect church, in the lower part of
t this county, on the thirty-first day of
- January last.
The story ol' this trouble has already

ination of one of the witnesses, tiic Rev.
Wash. Thomas, brought out the fact that
there was a put at the bottom ot the

O'Brien that he promised me a piir if 1

Thomas. He also boasted that "tie

bv the prisoner. The jury after hearing
ail the evidence decided that the prisoner
was guilty as charged. He was sen:

Trip of the Veterans to Louisville.
The prospect is that a large attendance
from South Carolina will be at Louisville.
The idea of General C I Walker, commander
of the South Carolina division of
U C V, in concentrating the veterans at
Spartanburg is a very good one. This
will give the "old vets" an opportunity
to exchange greetings and will insure the
same arrival time at Louisville of all the
delegates from this State. The mountain
route, through the "land of the sk\%"
down the French Broad river, via Knoxville,
Harriman Junction, Lexington and
into Louisville, is very delightful during
the spring and summer months, and is
preferable to the long and dusty routes.
There are also two daily trains in each
direction via this route between South
Carolina points and Louisville, insuring
no crowded trains; and the trip will be
entirely comfortable returning home.
This is cjuite an important item to those
who attend.
The May Delineator.
A new form of needlework, very beautiful
in its results, is shown in the May
Delineator. Instead of accomplishing
embroidery by colored stitches of various
lengths, as heretofore, very pretty results
are obtained by sewing carefully to a
proper background small stripes of colored
silk cut out in the shape of leaves or
petals or stalks. A most attractive feature
of the article describing this method
of work, is that there is a full page printed
in colors showing the effect of this
dainty idea.
Thackeray once wrote, "Reckon among
the blessings which Heaven hath bestowed
011 thee, the love of faithful women.
Purify thine own heart and try to make it
worthy of theirs. All the prizes of life
are nothing comparen to that one. All
the rewards of ambition, wealth, pleasure,
only vanity and disappointment, grasped
at greedily, fought over fiercely, and over
and over again found worthless by the
universe." Such were the ideals that sad
hearted but cheerful visaged Thackeray
worshipped. His own experience with
married life was unutterably sad; for
though his wife was living, yet he suffered
more than the pangs of a widower for
28 years. His wife, after 58 years in an
insane asylum, died only six years ago.
The pathos of it is very tenderly told by
Clara E LauShlin in the May issue of The
Delineator.
H. Clark, Chauncey, Ga? says DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve cured him of piles
that had afflicted him for twenty years.
It is also a speedy cure for skin diseases.
